Sorry to see you go, Colin. I can understand your complaint to some extent. The new versions of Slimjet are not installing on LL, and the recourse is to install them raw using the tar.xz. I think I could pull that off, but I have no idea how it will affect the existing and working older install of Slimjet, or how it would affect the system. So for now I'm sticking with the older Slimjet and hoping for a .deb fix on their end.
But that is fairly unusual. Most everything here runs smoothly, and it is quite rare that I have to use the CLI. I'm definitely more proficient on Windows at this point, including its CLI, but I am learning Linux, and with periodic system images and data backups behind me, the pace and the risk have been manageable. I think LL is pretty much in a sweet spot for Windows transitioners that way.
